As a very small school with limited in-house tech staff, Alma was almost completely self explanatory. Between the chat and videos, almost all questions were answered. The Wednesday sessions online were also great. Once we did need major assistance to correct a major error in initial set up (we chose a 7 day week and not a 5 day week). The folks under the hood took care of the problem and got us back on track without losing any of our data. For the price, Alma provided every features we had needed and used in Blackbaud. > > **Cons**: The Bell Schedule concept should be reviewed VERY carefully before you get started to avoid problems. Our schedule was in flux when we started which added to our challenges. Once we got it set up properly it worked perfectly even with our non-standard schedules. > > Ease of use. Great interface. Our faculty are not computer savvy and they were able to hit the ground running and help each other out as needed. Only occasionally did I need to intervene to answer questions or get someone on track (ie. weighting of their grades). ----- ### "Alma SIS Is Fantastic" — 5.0/5 > **Donna** | *May 15, 2026* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As an instructional assistant, when substituting for lead teachers, Alma SIS is very helpful for taking attendance for the main class I assist. It keeps record throughout the year and reasons for absences are also noted. I like the ability to check the lead teacher's schedule to locate the appropriate lesson plans for each class. I also like the ability to report incidents when needed under the appropriate student's profile. When in doubt, I really like the 'search' by name option to locate students and staff members in Alma when needed > > **Cons**: I like the "My Classes" option for easy access to take attendance, however, it would be nice if there was a way to take and save attendance for all classes that I substitute for. > > My overall experience with Alma SIS is fantastic and I would highly recommend it\! Alma SIS is very user-friendly and most helpful with some great features such as:  Directory - in alphabetical order which could include photo of staff and students  Calendar - school academic calendar for the year  Classes - List of classes includes grade level, term, schedule, teacher and number of students Separate section for each teacher's class entitled "My Classes" which includes: Dashboard: Can include lessons and assignments; shows a weekly calendar (helpful to note upcoming quizzes, tests, etc.) Announcements - teachers can send out an email to parents through Team Attendance - provides and keep record of student attendance which includes reasons for absences Other tabs include Curriculum, Assignments, Gradebook, Roster, Setting and Admin panel  There is a section for each student; overview, bio, schedule, contacts, classes, incidents (to keep record of any incident that needs reporting) Again, when all else fails, there's a 'Search' feature". ----- ### "User-Friendly, Customer First ALMA-SIS" — 5.0/5 > **Nicole** | *April 6, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love ALMA SIS at our school both for its easy connection for state reporting as well as how easy it is to use and train others on. Admin and teachers can easily manage their case loads and access important information. Customer support is easy and convenient on the homepage at all times, and someone is always incredibly prompt in returning messages. Those of us in the office love the ability to securely manage the kids information easily in the system and navigate details we have not had the ability to in previous SIS program. > > **Cons**: It was a bit of an adjustment not having a way to "call" parents with alerts, but our families have been able to get used to text and emails only. However, if phone calls became available in the future we would love it. > > Overall, switching over to ALMA SIS was the best thing that we did at our school. We moved previously from PowerSchool to TeacherEase and then to ALMA, which has far exceeded our expectations in an SIS system. It is incredibly easy to use, manage, and keep up with. Customer service is one of the best I have ever experienced, and overall our staff and families love the change. Personally, the connection with our State reporting system and how easy it made it was the winning factor for me. ----- ### "A Great Choice for School Information System" — 5.0/5 > **Shane** | *October 16, 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Accessibility, relative ease to setup, number of features, especially for price, email and messaging system was fantastic. > > **Cons**: Customer service response time could be hit or miss, other than that the pros definitely outweighed any cons. > > We have had a very positive experience using the Alma SIS. As a small school, we needed an SIS that was powerful yet flexible enough to meet our unique needs, which Alma delivered on. The platform was easy to use yet customizable, allowing us to adapt everything from grading scales to report templates without requiring any technical expertise. What impressed our staff most was how easy to use the system is. Teachers and administrators alike were able to jump right in and begin using Alma confidently from day one. The interface feels intuitive, and the customer support team has been consistently responsive and helpful whenever questions arise. We’ve especially appreciated features like customizable progress reports, attendance tracking, and the seamless communication tools between teachers and families. These have made day-to-day operations smoother and have helped us keep the entire school community on the same page. Overall, Alma has made managing our school data simpler, more transparent, and far more efficient. I’d highly recommend it to any school looking for an SIS. ----- ### "Alma is the best" — 5.0/5 > **Diana** | *April 9, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Assignments and grading and reporting also the part of attendance it is organized well .. and it is easy to hop in different classes without any problem > > **Cons**: Sometimes if you forget to save . The documents disappear so i will start to rewrite what i had written before. > > I am enjoying using alma in many ways . Assessment and grading . Writing student report and also attendance . ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/133283/alma?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/133283/alma) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
